What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Governor Matt Meyer signed several pieces of legislation in Delaware, including a measure prohibiting the sale of class B firefighting foam containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals starting January 1, 2028, though bulk petroleum facilities may apply for a five-year exemption. Separately, five bills were signed to strengthen protections for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, clarifying criminal jurisdiction and establishing confidentiality privileges for victim advocates.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new PFAS prohibition introduces a regulatory change that affects industries using firefighting foam, requiring compliance or application for exemptions. Additionally, the legislation expands the operational scope of law enforcement and social service providers by strengthening protective orders and expanding victim support services within Delaware.
